Campogiovanni Il Quercione Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Docg

Produced only in the most exceptional growing years, this Reserva is considered by San Felice to be the finest expression of its Campogiovanni terroir . Carefully selected clusters of Sangiovese grosso from its 2.5-hectare Il Quercione Vineyard, yeld a wine that effortlessly marries together depth, elegance and authenticity of style, plus a remarkable capacity for lenghty ageing. It matures 24 months in 500-litre French oak tonneaux and a further 36 in the bottle.

TECHNICAL SHEET

Mild and rainy end of winter and anticipated spring with temperatures above seasonal average. Generous rainfalls at the end of May and beginning of June assured a good supply of water to the vines; high temperatures during summer allowed a perfect ripening of grapes ensuring an excellent harvest as for quality ; quantities instead suffered a reduction of 10% compared to previous years.
